    Incredible lack of performance for a 3870 CF configuration

    Well you are right. how much details you want to include in the image increasing game settings have more impact in the FPS mark than the resolution itself. I Disabled the TLB and the video cards are runing crysis very well using very high settings and 1280x1024, AA 8x, Fullscreen and Vsync...

    Incredible lack of performance for a 3870 CF configuration

    Check the attached picture. I configure my cards to optimal performance in the catalyst so 12 FPS is very bad performance. Any idea?

    MSI k9a2 Platinum + ATI HD3870 problems on windows vista x 64

    I cannot do that. Thats the problem. When i insert the pen drive in vista64 the checkbox for include system files are disabled. I think i need a windows xp 32 bits machine to do this. I will try later at work and will post here my results.

    MSI k9a2 Platinum + ATI HD3870 problems on windows vista x 64

    1.- if i do that i cannot make raid 1+0 using 4 disk. The mobo only detect 2 drives. I already try that. May be im doing something wrong. 3.- What do you think of using a dual boot setup and install the automatic bios update software from msi under a windows xp installation??? 6.- ok.

    MSI k9a2 Platinum + ATI HD3870 problems on windows vista x 64

    Yes CCC shows crossfire enabled. But due to the inestability of the system im not pretty sure if this is working. I download the application GPU-Z and this app does not detect the crossfire. May be a drivers problem.
